Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Supervision

‘With this book, Christine Driver has written an expert's guide to the field of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic supervision, which is both well-suited to the needs of supervisors in training and also of relevance to experienced supervisors who want to review their thinking and practice as supervisors. Each chapter reviews significant contributions from the literature of supervision as it explores its theme and provides an overview of the theory of supervision that is always linked to the practice of supervision. The writing combines accessibility with depth and is informed by the author's long experience as a clinician, a supervisor, and a trainer of supervisors. The book provides a rich resource for all who are interested in the practice of supervision and in developing their work as supervisors.’ Stephen Crawford, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Fellow of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC). Formerly Senior Programme Manager at WPF Therapy in London. ‘This is a well-researched and thoughtful book from an author whose writing is informed by her decades of experience in the clinical context of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and Jungian analysis. Students will find here a compendium of all that is essential for anyone taking up the role of supervisor for the first time; experienced supervisors will find, in its theme of the complexity of supervision, a helpful reference manual that touches on the most significant aspects of the subject. I can recommend it as both a teaching tool and as a useful aid for ongoing professional development.’ Susanna Wright, Jungian Training and Supervising Analyst. Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP).
